Glad I am not the only one who feels this way. That pretty much sums my feelings up exactly.

I remember you saying I was ‘crying about’ these things back in October 

I’ve just seen enough to call it as I see it   Gives me zero pleasure.   it really doesnt take long to see if a staff gets the NFL or they don’t

It was a slow burn for me. Rhule had me intrigued and was saying all the right things so I was sipping the kool aid.

Barring us winning out (lol) I’m completely done with him as a coach. He’s a fraud and doesn’t belong in this league.

Meanwhile, the Panthers have changed ownership and become an utter trainwreck. If Rhule is retained it's not out of the question that I could get lured away to whatever Sam Howell's ultimate destination is. I would be at least as interested in following that team as I am this current iteration of the Panthers.

Just being honest. 😞

I still have some hope.

The Defense has gotten a lot more talent and much younger.  That bodes well for the future.

The team has two rookie OL to try out for the rest of the season.  Hopefully at least one of them shows he can be an NFL lineman.   If both do, that's a huge plus.  

The first pick in the draft should be for an OL, which means an immediate starter.  

Dead money on the cap is being significantly reduced next year.

These are all positives.

The QB position is still unclear but Rome wasn't built in a day.   Rebuilds take time and there's a lot to like as to what has been done lately.  I'd rather see the team get built correctly than reach for a sub-par QB this draft and then have to start the whole process over again in 2 years.  

My biggest concern for the team is probably coaching - specifically the OC.  I don't see Joe Brady getting any more skilled with experience.  He  just keeps doing the same poor job.  His lack of growth and lack of adjustments, either in game or over the course of the season, has been troublesome.  I just don't see him getting any better.  So he will need to be replaced.

Cam's return is pretty much the only thing keeping me even a little interested in this team right now. CMC has gone from a bonafide workhorse superstar that I got into a FF auction draft bidding war for 2-3 years ago to someone who can't stay on the field because he keeps getting over-used when he's healthy. The defense has been figured out. Just run off-tackle with a RB who isn't a shrimp and you're golden. Rhule has gone from an interesting coach who seemed to be making progress to a "culture" salesman with no substance and no answers. I strongly believe that his "culture" would only fly in college at a place like Baylor or Temple. I had hoped Rhule would be an offensive-minded coach but his approach reminds me  of John Fox. Rely on the defense and your running game and get just enough from your QB to win by 3-7 points. Rhule just talks more behind the podium and is more aggressive with his situational playcalling. But Fox was ultra-conservative, so not hard to outdo him in risk-taking.

I've looked over all the bottom fish in the NFL and while the Panthers may not be the worst team in the NFL they probably have the worst outlook of any team over the next 5 years....

....from ownership to coaching to front office/scouting and player personnel they seem to have insurmountable problems in the near term to 5 years out at least.....

It’s bad news for the franchise …all the way around 

who knows, maybe he is some miracle worker 

all I know is I watch a lot of pro  teams play that look like pro teams,  the Panthers aren’t one of them

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
